Analytics and Insights

Overview

Improving operational efficiency, optimizing citizen outreach, and increasing citizen welfare and satisfaction are core to the mission objectives of public sector organizations. Meeting the objectives is challenging in an environment where budgets and skill-sets are often constrained. Reactive decisions in operating any program are counter-productive – wastage of scarce resources, delayed welfare – to the mission. Analytics presents a powerful tool for public sector organizations to generate actionable insights that address these objectives and help deliver improved outcomes.

Challenges in building an analytics-powered organization While public sector organizations have access to a lot of data, analysis of the data to generate insights has been limited due to a combination of factors:

Disparate data systems and a silo-based approach to analytics

Legacy systems that are in need of modernization

Multiple analytics platforms/software out-of-synch with current business needs

A shortage of people with the analytics skill-sets required to meet the needs of the organization

The lack of a roadmap to move to the next level in analytics maturity

The proliferation of new data sources with a commensurate increase in the volume and velocity of data is another reason why public sector organizations need to re-think how they build an analytics-powered organization. Two main factors drive a renewed analytics strategy:

Innovate outside-in: Citizens/consumers now expect public sector organizations to provide the same experience as mature industries like retail, telecom and banking. Following the lead of the commercial sector in use of analytics concepts needs to be the foundation to any public sector analytics initiative.
